As an American Muslim organization that upholds the values of mercy, justice, peace, human dignity, and freedom for all, we strongly condemn the murder of George Floyd at the hands of four police officers in Minneapolis this week.

The best way to ensure equality and justice is to build bridges in the community and that is exactly what all you are doing.

If MPAC existed in 1942, Japanese Americans would have never gone to [internment] camps. And this is why, as a Congressman, I'm here for this community too.
